Not limited to the incursion of various European powers into Asia, Africa or the Americas alone, it is a continuous, widespread feature of human history. Leela Gandhi remarks: Colonialism marks the historical process whereby the West attempts systematically to cancel or negate the cultural difference and value of the non-west `. India was one of the productive colonies for the West,and its natives mere human material . The Orient was treated as alien and unusual , civilizationally inferior, weak and suitable for colonisation, says Said. It was a playground for Western desires, repressions, investments, projections and that it was Europe s richest colonies and one of its recurring images of the Other . Asif Currimbhoy, the authentic voice in Indian English theatre deals with various notions of postcolonialism in all his plays, written during India`s post-independence period, with their focus on the cultural, social and political dimensions. Contemporary postcolonial discourses put capitalism culpable when it depends on racial hierarchies, self-other distinction,and all sorts of oppression.
